II Chronicles 36

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

وَأَخَذَ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ يَهُوآحَازَ بْنَ يُوشِيَّا وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

كَانَ يُوآحَازُ ابْنَ ثَلاَثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

وَعَزَلَهُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَغَرَّمَ الأَرْضَ بِمِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَبِوَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ.

And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

وَمَلَّكَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَلِيَاقِيمَ أَخَاهُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَغَيَّرَ اسْمَهُ إِلَى يَهُويَاقِيمَ. وَأَمَّا يُوآحَازُ أَخُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُ نَخُوُ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى مِصْرَ.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

كَانَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ.

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

عَلَيْهِ صَعِدَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسَلاَسِلِ نُحَاسٍ لِيَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ،

Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

وَأَتَى نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ بِبَعْضِ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِلَ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي هَيْكَلِهِ فِي بَابِلَ.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ وَرَجَاسَاتُهُ الَّتِي عَمِلَ وَمَا وُجِدَ فِيهِ هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. وَمَلَكَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

كَانَ يَهُويَاكِينُ ابْنَ ثَمَانِي سِنِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

وَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِ السَّنَةِ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ فَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ مَعَ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الثَّمِينَةِ، وَمَلَّكَ صِدْقِيَّا أَخَاهُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ.

Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ابْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ أَمَامَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ مِنْ فَمِ الرَّبِّ.

And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

وَتَمَرَّدَ أَيْضًا عَلَى الْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ الَّذِي حَلَّفَهُ بِاللهِ، وَصَلَّبَ عُنُقَهُ وَقَوَّى قَلْبَهُ عَنِ الرُّجُوعِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

حَتَّى إِنَّ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشَّعْبِ أَكْثَرُوا الْخِيَانَةَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِ الأُمَمِ، وَنَجَّسُوا بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ آبَائِهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَنْ يَدِ رُسُلِهِ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلاً لأَنَّهُ شَفِقَ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ وَعَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ،

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

فَكَانُوا يَهْزَأُونَ بِرُسُلِ اللهِ، وَرَذَلُوا كَلاَمَهُ وَتَهَاوَنُوا بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ حَتَّى ثَارَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءٌ.

Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

فَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلِكَ الْكِلْدَانِيِّينَ فَقَتَلَ مُخْتَارِيهِمْ بِالسَّيْفِ فِي بَيْتِ مَقْدِسِهِمْ. وَلَمْ يَشْفِقْ عَلَى فَتًى أَوْ عَذْرَاءَ، وَلاَ عَلَى شَيْخٍ أَوْ أَشْيَبَ، بَلْ دَفَعَ الْجَمِيعَ لِيَدِهِ.

And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

وَجَمِيعُ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ اللهِ الْكَبِيرَةِ وَالصَّغِيرَةِ وَخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنِ الْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ أَتَى بِهَا جَمِيعًا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

وَأَحْرَقُوا بَيْتَ اللهِ، وَهَدَمُوا سُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَحْرَقُوا جَمِيعَ قُصُورِهَا بِالنَّارِ، وَأَهْلَكُوا جَمِيعَ آنِيَتِهَا الثَّمِينَةِ.

And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

وَسَبَى الَّذِينَ بَقُوا مِنَ السَّيْفِ إِلَى بَابِلَ، فَكَانُوا لَهُ وَلِبَنِيهِ عَبِيدًا إِلَى أَنْ مَلَكَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ فَارِسَ،

To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

لإِكْمَالِ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ بِفَمِ إِرْمِيَا، حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَتِ الأَرْضُ سُبُوتَهَا، لأَنَّهَا سَبَتَتْ فِي كُلِّ أَيَّامِ خَرَابِهَا لإِكْمَالِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

وَفِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِكُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ لأَجْلِ تَكْمِيلِ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ بِفَمِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، فَأَطْلَقَ نِدَاءً فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَكَذَا بِالْكِتَابَةِ قَائِلاً:

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

«هكَذَا قَالَ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ السَّمَاءِ قَدْ أَعْطَانِي جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ أَوْصَانِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا. مَنْ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِهِ، الرَّبُّ إِلهُهُ مَعَهُ وَلْيَصْعَدْ».
